Here is another quick tip for anyone running later versions of Windows 10, or Windows 11 who is annoyed by the undeletable “Learn about this picture” icon on the desktop when using Spotlight as your wallpaper source of choice.
Removal Process
Press the WIN + R or right-click on the Start button and click “Run” to get a Run prompt.
Copy and paste the following into the Run prompt and click OK.
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel" /v "{2cc5ca98-6485-489a-920e-b3e88a6ccce3}" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
A command window will flash for a moment while the command executes, and then you may click on your desktop wallpaper and press F5 on your keyboard, or right-click on an empty spot on your desktop wallpaper and click “Refresh”.
Boom! Gone.
